Why It’s a Great Idea to Plant in Winter
Description:
Grevillea ‘RSL Spirit of Anzac’ is a compact, fast-growing Australian native shrub that was developed as a tribute to the ANZAC legacy. Featuring vibrant red spider flowers and fine, dark green foliage, this variety offers year-round visual appeal and exceptional wildlife value. It was released in partnership with the RSL to commemorate the ANZAC spirit, making it a meaningful addition to gardens and public spaces alike.
Flowers:
Bright red spider-style flowers are produced prolifically throughout the year, with peak blooming in late winter to spring. Rich in nectar, the flowers attract a wide variety of birds and pollinators.
Foliage:
Dense, dark green needle-like foliage forms a neat and fine-textured appearance. The foliage contrasts beautifully with the vivid red blooms and provides excellent coverage.
Fruit:
Produces small, hard seed capsules after flowering, typical of grevilleas, though not usually considered ornamental.
Form and Size:
A compact, rounded shrub growing approximately 1.2 to 1.5 metres high and 1.5 metres wide. Naturally dense in habit and responds well to shaping.
Growing Conditions:
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Tolerant of dry periods, light frost, and coastal conditions once established. Prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil and benefits from a mulch layer to retain moisture.
Uses:
Ideal for native gardens, small hedges, wildlife corridors, commemorative plantings, and feature plantings in home gardens. Also suited for urban landscapes and public areas.
Maintenance:
Low-maintenance. Light pruning after flowering will encourage a compact shape and continuous blooming. Apply a slow-release, low-phosphorus native fertiliser in spring. Mulch annually and water during extended dry periods.
Notes:
Released as a commemorative plant with royalties supporting the Returned and Services League (RSL). A standout for those seeking a native plant with purpose, colour, and year-round performance.
Companion Plants:
Combines well with other small native shrubs such as Callistemon ‘Green John’, Westringia ‘Grey Box’, Lomandra ‘Tanika’, and Leptospermum ‘Starry Night’.
